Why Mich. woman became a Mormon

That's probably not news to you. But what do you really know about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or Mormonism?

Liesa Swejkoski, a blogger from the east side of the state, shares the reasons she became a Mormon in her most recent "A Sideshow Journey" blog.

"Today marks the 30th anniversary of the day I was baptized into The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints," the Taylor woman wrote Oct. 24. "I’d graduated from high school earlier in the year, 1982, and my parents graciously allowed me to make whatever adult decision I felt was important to my life.

"After looking into several religions, I decided to look more closely at the Mormons — more out of curiosity than anything else," she continued. "I’d heard so many rumors and wanted to discover the truth for myself."
